Why Tmouse

Keeping the same posture or doing the same action for a long time will make people get fatigued, the same problem will occur to people when they use the mouse. When you use some mouses designed with the ergonomic concept, at the beginning you will feel comfortable , but you will become tired over a time of period, even have the feelings that a kind of fatigue replace another one, which means you are never free from the real fatigue. In other words we still need to change postures constantly to relieve fatigue.

A suitable mouse will make you comfortable, which is convenient to control when you move fast. Also, the well-positioned mouse will not exhaust your energy after operated for a long time. That will be greater if the mouse is good-looking and futuristic.

Stretch Goal : Braided USB Cable

We got a few backers need wireless/wired Tmouse charged with braided USB cable and I wanted to tell you all about $100,000 Stretch Goal : Braided USB Cable .

So, what exactly is the advantage of a braided cable over the typical cable that is sheathed in rubber/plastic? Braided cable is less likely to get damaged if Tmouse is moved around a lot , braided cables would offer extra layer protection to the mouse . Just imagine when your cat is chewing your plastic cable and get ripped , that hurts !

One mouse with two grip methods: Practice, comfortable and interesting

Before transformation

After transformation

Two grip methods: a. normal grip method provides efficient but not the most natural posture since index, middle and finges are not naturally placed , the muscles of palm and arm will be intense (find the pic below)

b. roll up your palm, which is a very natural posture, and it will make you feel indefatigability after a long time. Once you adapt this grip method, your efficiency will be improved. Shifting two kinds of postures will greatly lessen your fatigue when you use the mouse, you can have one more choice to avoid becoming mouse hand (see figure below):

If you are using mouse now, you can rotate your mouse to 90 degrees and then clasp it, or you can hold something like tubes, soon you will feel how comfortable this grip method is shown as below:

Unprecedented experience in shooting games

Tmouse offers you a positive posture like pulling the trigger. If you are a fan of video games, we are very pleased that you will have an amazing experience when using Tmouse. Normal mouse-keys or clicks are usually hard to click, you may not experience the true shooting experiences from those normal mouses on the market. Just to upgrate your game playing quality, we will use the high quality responding sensors which are popular used in mainstream gaming mouse in the market.

Convenient touch bar

The touch bar is designed to fit the front of middle finger, you can slide your middle fingers forward and backward easily, it is unnecessary for the mouse users to raise their fingers like we use the ordinary mouses do and rotate the wheel in an unnatural posture. If you want to surf on the Internet, the wheel will be used more frequent than the left mouse button.

Ergonomic side buttons

The two side buttons are designed on the left side of mouse and will be separated in a reasonable distance to avoid much wrong operations.

Positioning accurately

Essentially, accuracy is so much of important. Especially for those engineering, drawing(like CAD) and gaming. To pursue better hand feeling, some producers'd like to manufacture the mouse quite big, though the big mouses will make consumers feel very comfortable when users place their hands still. However, the faster you move, the worse the accurate will be made. Putting the mouse in your hand will be easier to control than letting your hand lie on the mouse. Tmouse's design will make you to grip the mouse in all aspects, which will ensure you to position on the screen accurately to ease your fatigue.

Tmouse development

To prove our idea and achieve the expected effect, we try a lot of tentative test and come up with many solutions. During the process, we constantly improve the mouse, the following pictures just display the part of protopyping, 3d figure and mock-up.
